Democrats said the same thing about Black Americans before they could vote.
When did they say this? The only thing they said was the slaves were counted at 3/5th of a free person for census purposes.
No one denied they were people.
Would it make them less alive or less human?
Well, yeah, it kind of does if you aren't viable on your own.
Those of you that don't support Human Rights always find an excuse to kill innocent lives for profit.
Again, fetuses aren't people, and declaring them people would create a whole lot of problems.
For instance EVERY miscarriage would have to be treated as a homicide and investigated. Good bye any sense of medical privacy!
A woman with a history of miscarriages could take out a life insurance policy on her fetus and get a big old payout if she miscarries. It would break the life insurance system.
We would have to treat women with criminal assault if they engage in any activity that might endanger the development of the fetus, including smoking or drinking.
